For the first time, Valerie felt vulnerable. She was shaking like a scared toddler who wanted his parents to be with him.
Her heart raced when the police led her towards the car. Though the streets were almost empty, there was this fear that someone might see her or might recognize her.
She walked with her head slightly bent, her hair falling around her face like a shield. As she reached the squad car, she hesitated for a moment, glancing around, and then quickly ducked inside.
The police officer who closed the door after she was seated, could feel her stiffness. Valerie closed her eyes as the door slammed shut, her fingers were trembling in the cuffs.
When she heard the hum of the engine, she sank deeper into the seat, praying that nobody saw her like this.
Thankfully, it was a sudden arrest so the media couldn’t make it there.
Nina Sinclair. How could you!
She thought with bitterness. Why did she forget that Nina could be anything but sincere?
By the time, the car pulled into the station’s lot, she was trembling. They escorted her inside while talking to each other. Some of them were even cracking jokes with each other and Valerie hated everything about them.
This must be usual for them, but she was having a hard time accepting it.
Everything felt surreal, like a bad dream and she badly wanted to wake up from it.
She looked at the officer who was walking beside her through the dim hallway, "S-sir..." she tried to wet her dry lips, "there is some misunderstanding. I’m innocent."
The officer kept walking as if he was made of stone, "You’re making a mistake, ma’am," he turned his face to look at her, "Please stay silent."
"I – I didn’t do anything... believe me, please," desperation was evident in her voice.
The man’s face remained stony, offering no sympathy, "Just sit down and stay quiet," he said flatly, motioning her towards a bench in the waiting area.
Valerie felt a desperate knot, twist in her chest, "I... I swear... I haven’t done anything wrong," she pleaded again, not realizing that her voice was rising with anxiety, "Y-you have got it all wrong, sir."
The officer who was giving some instructions to the other officer, his patience seemed to snap. He turned to her sharply, his eyes narrowing, "Shut up! You are making this harder for yourself. One more word and you’ll regret it."
Valerie who wanted to say more...
No! She wanted to scream!
She wanted to hold the collar of the man.
She wanted to kill Nina...
Her words died in her throat, and she slumped down on the bench. Tears had started stinging her eyes.
It was very rare when she genuinely cried. Most of the time, it used to be crocodile tears. She was so sure of her acting skills that if she wasn’t Rafael’s wife, she would have landed herself in Hollywood.
She wasn’t used to that stinging and today it was killing her. Marissa and Nina would never come to help her.
Marissa would make sure that she was hanged to death.
Oh, God! What have I gotten myself into?
What to do? Who should I call for help?
Ethan?

I was into the story but then the translator who was translating it for whatever language to English stopped translating half the words are half English and another language it's very hard to follow a book when you can't understand what the written word is translators need to do better...
